Chapter 110: The Prince's Answer
is approaching the prince's wedding, but at this time, many refugees appeared in the streets and alleys of the capital.
If you pay a little attention, you can find out that they came to the capital all the way because of the Tingzhou flood, in order to survive at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Who knew that they were even more humble at the feet of this day, not to mention food, but also in exchange for a beating from time to time, that is, those nobles hated the taste of their bodies.
But if they can, they don't want to be wrapped in tattered and smelly thin clothes on the streets, and they don't want to put down their dignity to beg from pedestrians one by one.
But this Kyoto is not as good as they think, and there is a sense of wealth and nobility, but they will be hated everywhere they go.
However, in two or three days, the flood of victims from Tingzhou has been seen everywhere in Kyoto, and people are dying at any time, either starving to death, being punched, kicked, or even seriously injured, and then there is no money to go to medical treatment, and after a long delay and the wind and cold are brought, they die.
In the last time, Bai Yi proposed a method in which the DPRK and China dispatched Lin Xianzhi, the head of the household department, supplemented by Wang Fang, the inspector, and the two went to Tingzhou to work together to solve the problems caused by the floods, distributing grain to resettle the victims on the one hand, and suppressing the rioting people with inspectors and guards on the other.
At that time, Bai Xiang also came up with a very solid plan, as long as he followed the steps and handled it properly, there would not be much of a problem.
But now the victims of the disaster in the capital are really hitting Bai Yi in the face.
Although the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to knock Bai Yi down, he also knew that now was not the time to hold him accountable, and Lin Xianzhi and Wang Fang had not yet returned to the dynasty, so they didn't know what the specific situation in Tingzhou was now, and how they helped the victims of the disaster in the capital.
Shangguan Fengjin ordered the main force of the household department to arrange for the victims of the disaster in Kyoto, with the assistance of the Ministry of Industry and Kyoto Prefecture Yin.
Starting this morning, Kyoto began to reorganize and resettle the victims of the disaster, and the officers and inspectors came and went in the streets, and sometimes they saw people being arrested by the people of the criminal department, and for a while people were panicked.
Some of them were wanton troublemakers, and most of them were found out by the emperor's secret division to be spies of other countries, including subordinates of the DPRK and China.
The water in Kyoto is in chaos.
No one thought that the emperor would cast such a big net when rehousing the victims, and many officials trembled in the palace after learning that their subordinates in the shadows had been arrested, waiting for the will to destroy the family.
"Bang-"
In the Qinzheng Palace, Shangguan Fengjin slapped the paper in his hand on the gilded imperial case with one palm, and the folds piled up on both sides shook for a while.
The crown prince Shangguan Xuri stood at the bottom, raised his eyes to look at the emperor with an angry face, and lowered his eyes hurriedly before his father's eyes swept over, he didn't know what was written on the paper that could make his father so angry.
"Father, your health is ......important," the prince stepped forward and said with concern.
Shangguan Fengjin cut off his next words, and said elegantly: "As the crown prince, you will become the emperor in the future, if there are ministers in the court who form a party for personal gain, what should you do?"
When he heard his father say that he would become the emperor, his heart jumped, and he said cautiously: "There are many entanglements of interests between the DPRK and China, and once the whole body is involved, the sons and daughters will spend time making more layouts, supporting one side of the courtiers, and resolving and suppressing the forces of the party and the rebels." ”
The dignified answer naturally did not make the emperor feel satisfied, and the majesty of Shangguan Fengjin was a little more serious: "If you can absolutely control this country and this court, you don't need to be like this, the king should be domineering, and the rebel ministers and thieves should be killed, so there is no need to worry like this." ”
"I just tolerate some people too much, this court has never looked like it, I have used the way of checks and balances for many years, and now it takes time to change it. Although he said that things were difficult, there was resolute courage in his eyes.
"My father worked hard and magnificently, and holding the power of the court in his hands was just a reversal. The prince immediately complimented.
Shangguan Fengjin laughed when he heard this, and when he looked at the paper on the table again, his face lost his previous anger, and he said again: "Do you know what is recorded on this paper?"
The prince shook his head and replied, "Erchen doesn't know. ”
The piece of paper was sent by the Saucer in the hands of his father, and the investigation was probably related to the question that his father had just asked him, but the prince didn't dare to speculate too much, in case he was wrong, his impression would only get worse in front of his father.
Shangguan Fengjin was clear about his son's thoughts, his thick eyebrows were slightly white, and he paused slightly: "In the future, if you find out that your courtiers have collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, what should you do?"
The crown prince didn't understand why his father suddenly said this, but he still thought about it seriously: "Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the crime is unforgivable, and his clan should be exterminated to warn everyone." ”
"Then look at the contents of this paper. The Emperor snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with what he had just thought, there was no need to think about such a thing at all.
Shangguan Xuri speculated in his heart, took the paper on the case in his hand and read it carefully, and the more he saw the back, the more frightened and angry his expression became.
How could there be so many people in the DPRK and China who had contacts with other countries, civil officials, military generals, and even the names of some grandfathers and grandfathers, this piece of paper clearly recorded their dealings with other countries.
Smuggled Dachen's special weapons to buy Dijon, Xiyan and so on, and even bought the news in Dachen with other countries.
Although these are fundamental things that can't affect Dachen, how can such a thing be seen in a small way, if you can sell weapons today, you may be able to sell Dachen's border defense maps tomorrow, and then you can hold the flag and turn it back.
Shangguan Xuri felt chills all over his body when he thought about it.
"Father, these people can't stay, they are all moths of the country. The prince's angry voice echoed in the Qinzheng Palace.
Gonggong Song, who was standing at the door, tried his best to make himself appear to have a low sense of existence, and he thought he was blind, deaf and mute.
"I thought I didn't want to kill them, if I killed them all, the long street would be full of blood, and it would be refreshing for a while, but who will do things for me at that time, how to maintain this court at that time, and then the country will be in chaos. ”
Every word the emperor said was like a hammer hammer in the heart of the prince, hanging his head and clenching the silk paper in his hand, how could the Shangguan family's country be corrupted and subverted by these outsiders.
After a long time, the crown prince raised his head and said: "My father wants to make an example of the rest of the people, so that they will not question his father's words in the court." ”
Shangguan Fengjin nodded, the prince he trained single-handedly was naturally not stupid, and telling him these was also to ask him to be prepared.
Although he asked his brothers to balance each other's forces, he could only care about the eldest son, the current crown prince, and he couldn't let him fall behind those brothers.
The crown prince did not ask or ask who exactly was going to kill, and his father told him that there must have been a decision.
